Marble statue of a kouros (youth)

Marble statue of a kouros (youth). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: 76 5/8 × 20 5/16 × 24 7/8 in. (194.6 × 51.6 × 63.2 cm)
Other (height w/o plinth): 76 5/8 in. (194.6 cm)
Other (Height of Head): 12 in. (30.5 cm)
Other (Length of face): 8 7/8 in. (22.6 cm)
Other (shoulder width): 20 5/16 in. (51.6 cm). Date: ca. 590-580 B.C..
This is one of the earliest marble statues of a human figure carved in Attica. The rigid stance, with the left leg forward and arms at the side, was derived from Egyptian art.  The pose provided a clear, simple formula that was used by Greek sculptors throughout the sixth century B.C.  In this early figure, almost abstract, geometric  forms predominate; and anatomical details are rendered in beautiful analogous patterns.  The statue marked the grave of a young Athenian aristocrat.
